Description

Scarce 1794 V-1, LM-1 Flowing Hair Half Dime

1794 H10C --Bent, Improperly Cleaned--NCS. VF Details. V-1,
LM-1, R.6. Reiver state a. Early die state for this variety, with
no trace of the obverse cracks which form later. The bend is not
discernible in the holder, but must be slight as it is not readily
apparent. As to the cleaning, there are some minor hairlines on the
surfaces, but no distracting evidence is found of this event. The
surfaces show a few old cuts and nicks, including a minor scrape
down from the E of LIBERTY into the upper curls on Liberty's head.
Toned an attractive medium gray throughout. A very scarce variety
and the toughest of the four 1794 varieties to find in any grade.
While not the prettiest example of this die pairing that exists,
this coin does show the important die attributes, and the surfaces
and quality are better than the NCS holder implies as the evidence
of cleaning and the bend are minimal.Ex: Ted Shiff, (September, 1983). Envelope
Included.(Registry
